Whoooee!!! What a great weekend we had. The weather was interesting. We picked, grinned and sang, dawn to dusk. The Mainstage performers were fabulous. The Marketplace artists lined the square with handcrafted treasures, some even demonstrated how they were made. Luthiers Row featuried the most beautiful handmade musical instruments. After a short break to rest up, let's do it again next year!!!

The National Storytelling Network (NSN) named the 19th annual Bear on the Square Mountain Festival as the 2015 Southeast Regional Spotlight Event for Storytelling.

The Southern Order of Storytellers, an affiliate of NSN, had participated at Bear festivals in recent years, and the 2015 Bear on the Square Festival staged an ambitious schedule of storytelling performances on the Saturday and Sunday of the festival. Among those appearing on the Zak McConnell Stage at Hancock Park was National Storyteller Adam Booth.
